Don't call me a cookie [eSports]

"Sweet Cookie Group's favorite status is really unshakable."

The two commentators followed the atmosphere of the scene:

"Then we also wish Cookie a happy birthday and hope he can perform well today."

"Okay, let's turn our attention to the BP situation of the two teams."

Rong Mo was not affected by the kill, and let the team members lock in the previously finalized lineup one by one: Pei Qinhu, Jiang Ziya, Guiguzi, Yang Jian and Hua Mulan.

And Glight really chose as kill said: Liu Bang, Gongsunli, Gan Jiang, Bai Qi and Xiahou Dun.

The male commentator analyzed a wave before the game:

"The lineups of the two teams are two extremes. TL's selection is all early heroes, and even both sides are fighters who are good at fighting. It can be said that they put all their treasures in the first 15 minutes."

"Glight obviously plays a four-guarantee-one system here. Both sides and support can take care of injuries, and more output work in the later stage is handed over to Gongsunli."

Female commentator: "That's right, let's see if TL came aggressively and quickly defeated Glight in this game, or Glight took the risk to beat TL in the late stage."

As for the players' bench, the TL players didn't look too good after seeing that Glight really chose this lineup.

The old grandson raised his voice:

"That kill is sick, is he trying to disgust us on purpose, or is he really giving us water?"

Erha was also angry: "Besides, we don't need him to release water at all!"

"Okay, okay, calm down."

Rong Mo did psychological work for them before leaving the field:

"Don't think about it, just concentrate on playing the game. We will fight for the early stage in this round."

"clear."

The boys adjusted their status and complied.

----------

"Welcome to the Glory of Kings!"

The first round of the game officially started. The five TL players started from the crystal, followed the tactical arrangement, went directly to the opposite wild area to fight against the red, and successfully won three buffs.

Male commentator: "Sure enough, TL has adopted an aggressive attitude in the early stage. Glight can only avoid the battle at present, so as to ensure that the kill's Gongsunli develops first."

Due to the level advantage brought by Xia Ran's Jiang Ziya, TL successfully won the first tyrant again, gradually widening the economic gap.

And Glight's combat thinking is very clear. They let go of this tyrant, avoided some team battles where their own side had no advantage, and only wanted to develop wretchedly until the later stage before giving TL a fatal blow.

Yan Yi realized that this would not work. If it was delayed to the later stage, their lineup would lack honesty and hard control against Gongsunli, and the team battle would inevitably be at a disadvantage.

Therefore, it is now necessary to open the situation on the wing.

Next, their Nosuke and even Nakanosuke went to the side lanes to make troubles from time to time, but Liu Bang and Bai Qi on the opposite side were both anti-stress heroes. The success rate of gank was not high, and they only widened the economic gap by about [-] in the early stage.

Female commentator: "Now TL's offensive rhythm seems to be slowed down by Glight. We can also notice that the kill's Gongsunli has already released the core equipment at this stage. It seems that Glight is about to sound the horn of counterattack."

In fact, Glight also seemed to realize that the time had come, and began to try to fight some small-scale team battles with TL. Just when everyone thought that the balance of victory had already favored Glight, Gongsunli who killed him frequently made fatal mistakes——

"Oh, it's a pity, Glight's team is running very well, but kill is out of touch with the team, and the output has not kept up."

"Hey! Why did kill flash back into the crowd! This is a good opportunity for Bo to fight back, but Gongsunli died suddenly early."

"Uh, at this time Gongsunli has already installed Liushen, and he can clearly hit TL's high ground with his teammates, why is he still sneaking into the jungle to play in the jungle?"

"Kill was recognized as the league's top scorer with his wonderful performance before, but today's performance is really abnormal."

In the middle and late stages of the game, TL's lineup gradually showed weakness and shortcomings. This was a good time for Glight to counterattack, but kill's abnormal behavior brought the field to a stalemate.

The commentator and the audience felt strange, but the five TL members gradually understood:

kill is acting...

Regardless of his team's life or death, he insisted on "sending" the victory to TL.

As time passed, not only TL, but also Glight who was sitting opposite became more and more dull. The game that could have ended long ago was dragged to 10 minutes later...

Yan Yi couldn't bear it anymore, and resolutely pressed the "apply for timeout" button.

Immediately, the words "The blue team suspended the game" appeared on the display screen, and the audience was in an uproar.

Two commentators came forward to appease the emotions of the audience:

"There may be some problems with the equipment of the players. Everyone take a break in their seats and give them some time."

During this pause, Yan Yi sat on the gaming chair and only gave Kill a look.

The other party seemed to be intimidated, and sat there in a daze for a long time...

His teammates also seemed to have said something to him, without any excitement, as if they were encouraging him.

Kill gradually lowered his head, opened and closed his lips, and said three words.

After a short timeout, the game resumed. The two sides carefully made the final test, and finally started the fight at the Dragon Pit. TL's goal was clear, which was to cut Gongsunli to death.

And kill finally regained his form. Relying on the geographical advantage of Longkeng to come and go freely, he hit sky-defying damage while flipping and moving, leading Glight to victory in the first game.

"Congratulations Glight! Kill this wave of Tianxiu!"

"This is the number one shooter in the league we know."

Losing this game, the five TL members felt relieved.

Brother Hao and the others couldn't help complaining:

"I've never played such an uncomfortable game."

"I'd rather be shocked if I won."

And Yan Yi took off Xia Ran's earphones, and reported to him in a low voice:

"I'll go find him and be right back."

"Okay, let's go."

When Yan Yi and Kill walked backstage one after the other, Brother Hao asked him in a low voice:

"Sweet Cookie, don't you really want to see it?"

Xia Tian smiled and shook his head, because he understood the purpose of Yan Yi's trip.

----------

Walking to a deserted place, Yan Yi grabbed Kill by the collar and threw him hard against the wall.

"If you still don't know what it means to play professionally because of me, get out early."

"I……"

He murmured, as if a little confused.

Yan Yi looked at the top of his hanging head, and said in a cold voice:

"After playing so many games with your teammates, do you think they deserved the behavior they did before?"

"Are you worth their four guarantees and one?"

Kill trembled all over, and raised his head to look at Yan Yi in a daze, as if awakened by a bucket of ice water.

"If you feel guilty, it may mean that you have found the meaning of playing a career."

Yan Yi left the last sentence, turned around and walked back to the stage along the empty corridor.

After walking a few steps, a voice finally came from behind him:

"Yan Yi, thank you."

Kill's eyes are firm:

"In the next games, I will do my best for my team, you have to be careful."

----------

Yan Yi returned to his position, feeling the need to explain his actions to his teammates:

"Just paused..."

Brother Hao and the others waved their hands and interrupted him:

"We understand. In fact, our team's lineup is just in the early stage. It is difficult to win in the late stage. It is better to finish early and start the next game."

"We just want to win fairly, and it hurts us if he plays like that."

But Xia Ran is more concerned: "Has he figured it out?"

Yan Yi looked at him tenderly and nodded.

"That's good."

Meanwhile, they saw Kill return to the middle of the line and bow deeply to his teammate, who patted him on the back with a smile.

The five big boys in TL smiled knowingly, the game just now was considered a turning point.

The playoffs adopt a BO7 competition system, whichever team wins four rounds first can advance to the next stage of the game.

Although they lost a game first, they relaxed a lot in mentality. The five of them returned to their best condition, and they repeatedly showed their bright moments on the field——

In the second game, Xia Ran got his famous hero, Mo Xie, and used long-range poke to limit the movement and output of kill. With his precise hit rate and Shang Yan Yi's spiritual circle around, he cut to death the opponent's double C many times. , easily won the second game.

In the third round, Lao Sun's Yang Jian was a strong carry. First, he desperately took down the opponent's mid laner's head at the beginning of the game, and strongly controlled half of the opponent's wild area. C's important task is to go deep into the back row to fight against three, use the serial dog to get three kills and then retreat, sealing the victory for the team.

In the fourth round, Erha’s winger Baili kept the promise made a stunning appearance. In this version of the shooter jungler, he used the 100% hit rate of the second skill of keeping the contract, the vision-opening ability of the first skill and the spiritual positioning to tell everyone , Sagittarius who said no!

In the fifth game, which is the match point game of TL, Rong Mo resolutely grabbed the T1 support Taiyi for Hao Ge on the first floor. , helped the team win three kills and get a fantastic start.

Afterwards, he seemed to live in the opposite wild area, gaining vision for the team, and entering the field with a skill was extremely intimidating, making the opponent frightened.

In this regard, they were in full swing, chasing four points in a row after losing a game first, and won the promotion place for the winner's group with a strong 4:1!

"Let's congratulate TL! This is their eleventh consecutive victory this season!"

Their fans are cheering and celebrating, and the commentator is also admiring today's TL:

"TL has developed from the wild-core system in the qualifiers to the dual-core system in the regular season, and then to the five-core system in the first game of today's playoffs. This team has completed another transformation and evolution. It is really terrifying."

"The term five-core system is used well! I think they are five-core, that is, no-core, and no-core is better than those with cores. In the current TL, every player and every position can stand up and carry at critical moments. Such a team, Already has the looks of a champion."

The male commentator was very emotional:

"Needless to say the strength of Liaoyuan and Tianbing, what surprised me is that I saw them in their peak form in the first season from today's Changsheng, Laosun and Erha. It's been a long time since I saw them."

After the boys of TL took off their earphones, they just heard a blow from the commentator to them.

Brother Hao and the others were very pleased:

"Hee hee, it's worth our hard training during the offseason."

"And still won on Sugar Cookie's birthday, perfect!"

Rong Mo also laughed:

"Okay, okay, get ready to shake hands with the other side, they have been waiting for a long time."

They reacted, lined up in a row, and walked over to shake hands with the Glight team members in a steady state of mind.

Sure enough, kill still took action.

When Yan Yi passed by his side, the two shook hands loosely, and Kill said to him sincerely:

"I came to play professionally by accident, but I have found the meaning of staying in this circle, thank you."

Yan Yi nodded slightly in response.

The teammate on the side gave kill a chestnut, and said fiercely on purpose:

"Then hurry back and deepen your hero pool!"

"I know, I know, I don't want to lose face."

Kill rubbed his head in pain, and after taking the initiative to shake hands with Xia Ran in order, he was a little embarrassed, but still mustered up his courage, looked at Xia Ran and said:

"I'm sorry before, but now I sincerely wish you a happy birthday."

Xia Ran smiled back, his pupils were black and bright, as if there were little stars twinkling inside:

"Thank you."

----------

The format of the interview in the playoffs was changed to the entire team being interviewed, so the five of them stood on the sub-stage, waiting for the commentator to ask questions.

During this period, Xia Ran noticed that Yan Yi would look at his watch from time to time.

He was about to ask Yan Yi what's wrong, when he was cueed to:

"Tiaoshen, the MVP of the four rounds today was awarded to the other four teammates respectively. As the only one who lost the selection, don't you feel a little embarrassed?"

No need for Yan Yi to go out, the team members first turned on the calf-protecting mode——

Lao Sun snatched the commentary microphone:

"You know it's embarrassing and you still ask?"

Erha took over:

"The captain respects the old and loves the young, and gives us the opportunity to perform."

Brother Hao took it again:

"And our captain is lazy, if he can lie down, he doesn't like to carry."

Concluding speeches for the end of summer position:

"Don't force our captain to carry, because the opponent will not even have a chance to win!"

Finally, Yan Yi took the microphone and shrugged his shoulders showing off:

"Do you still need my answer?"

After three seconds of silence, the audience watching the interview burst into applause:

"TL mighty!"

On the contrary, Rong Mo and Lin Ying looked confused:

When did Yan Yi become a team favorite?

After finally recording the interview session, everyone returned to the break room, and when they were discussing how to help Cookies celebrate their birthday, Yan Yi patted his teammates on the shoulder pointingly:

"Cookies will follow me today, so I won't feed you dog food."

Teammates always feel that something will happen tonight...

"No, the cookie belongs to everyone. He is willing to go with you, so we..."

"I'll go with the captain."

"..."

The next moment, the irrelevant people left the venue resentfully.

Yan Yi approached him and squatted in front of him:

"Standing for so long, I don't feel relieved."

Xia Ran stood up, sneered and jumped on his back, knowing where Yan Yi would take her.

Satisfied, Yan Yi carried him on his back, walked out of the lounge, passed the corridor, and walked towards the parking lot.

During the period, I happened to meet a member of REO who was here for the competition. Zhang Yiyan ran over to say hello to Yan Yi, and also said happy birthday to Xia Ran.

He thanked him, and when he turned his head, he happened to see Yu Weiding glanced in their direction, and when Zhang Yiyan walked back, Yu Weiding looked back indifferently.

"How do I feel..."

Xia Ran tilted his head and thought for a while:

"The atmosphere between them is very similar to our previous Cold War."

Yan Yi was noncommittal, turned his head and said to him:

"Zhang Yiyan came to learn from me before."

"Huh? You can be a veteran driver at your level?"

"That's not true. It still needs to go through your inspection."

Yan Yi deliberately whispered in his ear:

"Don't worry, I specifically asked the doctor a few days ago, and he said that you can do this kind of exercise now."

Xia Tian's ears turned red, and he hit Yan Yi's back with his forehead in anger and shame:

"Fortunately, there is no need to re-examine, otherwise I will lose face."

----------

"Are you ready to take me to the king?"

"So are you ready to take me through the toilet?"

"Okay, I'll take you to the best place in Shanghai."

Taking advantage of Yan Yi's parking time, Xia Ran looked out the window at the famous five-star hotel:

"Tsk, is it so generous?"

"Why don't you go to my house?"

While helping him to unbuckle his seat belt, Yan Yi intentionally blew hot air into his ear.

Xia Ran couldn't help touching his earlobe:

"Why do I think you want to play with cars/shocks more?"

"Not now, your legs and feet are inconvenient."

"...meaning you want to try it later?"

"If you are willing to cooperate."

"...Captain, you were not like this before."

Yan Yi leaned over and teased him half-truthfully:

"After all, I've been vegetarian for so long. I might transform later. Get ready."

After some conversation, Xia Ran felt that his teammates' worries were justified, and that he might fall into the wolf's den today...
